Water-heater for stoves



N UNITED STATES 10 all 'whom 'it may concern.- `Be it known that I, G. L. INGERSOLL, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heaters; and I do hereby declare that the following` is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had Vto the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side view of the 'heater and stove. Fig. 2 is a front view. Fig. Sis a verl l tical section. Like letters of reference' refer to like parts in the views. y 1 In Fig. 1, A represents an ordinary cook-` stove, at the back end of which and connected to the pipe B is an extension-plate or bottom, supported by legs D. On this plate is erected the heater E, of which it forms the bottom. This heater consists of an oval or .i oblong case, F, inclosiu g a pair of cylindrical Iboilers, G, Fig. 3, connected to each other by the pipes ,or tubes H, thereby establishing a direct and free communication between them. `Atthe top of each boiler is a tubeor pipe, "I I', one of which (the induction-pipe l') eX- :ytends to near the bottom of the boiler, as in dicated by the dotted lines, Fig. 3. These i pipes are for the purpose of illing the boilers `and for drawing oft' the water when heated.

The practical use and management of this heater is as follows: The boilers being filled, which, it will be observed, is done from the top, lIthe water lis heated by the Waste heat and ,smoke of the stove as it passes out through the pipe B into the case F, and ascends therein between and around the boilers to the top of the case, from which it escapes into the chimney through the pipe J. It will be obwious that by this arrangement of the heater the waste `heat only is used in heating the water, whereas in the ordinary way of heating water for fbathing purposes the heat is taken directly from the lire-box by the introduction of pipes' y @within the box, and thence leading to a reser- PATENTN OFFICE;a

WATER-H EATER FOR STOVES.

y Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 71,490, dated November 26, `1867.

voir or boiler located at some distance from the stove, involving by thismeans a large eX- pense in the use of fuel.` By this means the water is soon raised to a high degree of heat,

is there drawn off as it may be needed.

By supplying the boilers with water `from the top and conducting it tothe bottom of the boiler` through the pipe I', it will be obvious that the cold water will become heatediin a much shorter time than if `introduced at the top; hence a saving of fuel is obtained without any inconvenience or increase of expense.

This heater can be applied to any of the or-` dinary cook-stoves or ranges, as it is made entirely separate from the stove, and mounted upon a separate bottom back and away from the top of the stove; hence; it is not in the way of a free access and use of all the holes in the top, and offers noobstruction to the draft.

On applying the heater to the extensionstove the bottom C will notberequired, as it is simply placed on the top of the stove in the position usually occupied by the ordinary water-boiler. y i 3 What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isp A cylindrical boiler or boilers, A, connected to each other by pipes H, and provided with induction and eduction pipes I I', wheninclosed within a case, F, with or without the extension-bottom C, in combination with the stove A, for the purpose and in the` manner substantially as set forth. l
